    Also VPNs see everything you do, but please, again, enlighten me how paying some OTHER corporation somehow better protects me from corporations?

      A VPN isn’t magically solving all privacy and security issues. Personally, I would trust Mullvad, Proton and IVPN with my data over my ISP. They’ve been audited, and they’ve been put to test multiple times, and not been able to give away data. But it all really boils down to personal needs, and each to their own on that. If you don’t want a VPN, then don’t buy into one.

      Set https everywhere. Use secure DNS servers. Install TOR along with all that. Tell me how your VPN provider can “see everything you do” with many layers of encryption, decentralization, and propagation of your data?
